Free mainland U.K. delivery

Professionally Restored and Rewired ready to install

Finding a complete, unbroken set of six period sconces is an absolute rarity in the antique world. It is the ultimate design configuration for injecting historical scale and symmetry into traditional interiors.

These wall lights are masterfully cast in heavy brass with an immaculate, vibrant original gold finish with rich patina. Each twin-arm fixture features an asymmetric Louis XV Rococo backplate dripping with beautifully chased foliate scroll and acanthus leaf details. They are identical in design, forming three matching pairs suited for balanced placement

They have been fully overhauled, professionally rewired and PAT tested to UK standards ready for installation. They come with complimentary light bulbs and period-style matching aged fixing brass screws.

Key Characteristics:

• Design & Style: The sconces are crafted in an ornate Louis XV Rococo style, characterized by asymmetric, fluid, and scrolling organic forms.

• Material: They are made of gilded heavy brass, showing a rich golden-metallic finish with deeper tones in the recesses, highlighting the detailed casting.

• Structure: Each individual sconce features:

o A central vertical backplate designed with elongated, scrolling acanthus leaf motifs that taper at the bottom.

o Two sweeping, branch-like arms that curve outward from the backplate to support the lights.

o Fluted, flower-like drip trays (bobeches) sitting beneath the candle sleeves.

o A clean, cream-coloured candle sleeve rising from each tray to mimic traditional wax candles.

o A clear, flame-shaped candelabra light bulb fitted into the top of each sleeve.

Condition:

They are in excellent structural and aesthetic condition.

• The heavy frames retain a vibrant, high-quality gold gilded finish. The surface shows an exceptional tone with deep lustre and attractive patina.

• Free from structural verdigris, heavy pitting, or unsightly discoloration. The surface has been gently cleaned in our workshop to preserve its historical integrity.

• No cracks, stress fractures or broken foliate scrolls.

• Scrolling branches remain perfectly solid and balanced.

Restoration Overhaul:

• Every sconce has been completely stripped, gently cleaned to preserve its natural patina, and professionally rewired in-house using new, premium UK-compliant three-core grounded electrical cable.

• Fitted with secure E14 Small Edison Screw (SES) lamp holders.

• Fully PAT tested to current UK domestic safety standard regulations and certified safe for immediate installation by a qualified electrician.
